Damages
These are compensation to the injured party for the loss after the contract has been breached by one of the contracting parties. The objective is to place the injured party in the same position he would have been if the contract had been respected and not breached. These are not a punishment to the party that breached the contract nor is it a way of intimidating the party into performing it’s duties by fear of a penalty if he does not.
The following are the different kinds of damages;

Compensation is left for the court to handle; they put a monetary figure to them. The plaintiff must prove that they incurred...

...collection of essays. Lyons has done a masterful job of choosing clear, concise, easy-to-read and seminal papers in philosophy of mind. The only reason not to use this collection in a course is because of a difference in topic. In other words, the job this book has been designed to do it does very well. It is, of course, difficult to critique the arguments presented in such papers without writing a book of one's own. So, I set the task of this review as one of description, not of argument or insight.
The title Modern Philosophy of Mind might mislead some to think the essays are on current trends in philosophy of mind. This is not the case, as a quick glance at the table of contents will show (see appendix A). Essays from William James, J. B. Watson, and Rudolf Carnap begin the discussion which then continues to the middle of this century with pieces from U. T. Place, Hilary Putnam, Donald Davidson and concludes with some early work from Daniel Dennett, Paul Churchland and Jerry Fodor. Presumably, the term 'modern' designates the historical period (as opposed to post-modern), not the recency of the publication of the chosen essays.
This text would be an excellent reader for a number of possible courses including, at the undergraduate level, a first philosophy of mind intensive course, or perhaps a more general course which includes a section on philosophy of mind. At the graduate...

How was Schizophrenia portrayed in the film ‘A Beautiful Mind’?
The film A beautiful Mind is based on the life of an American mathematician John Nash. The film begins when Nash starts at Princeton University, here he makes a mathematical breakthrough which later on in his life leads him to earn the Nobel Prize in 1994. After graduating from Princeton Nash takes up teaching and meets a young woman, Alicia who later becomes his wife. Whilst teaching Nash is asked by the government to break codes used by the Russians, this leads him to then get further involved with a government agent William Parcher. Parcher gives Nash a new assignment to look for patterns in magazines and newspapers, supposedly to prevent a Soviet plot. He must write a report of his findings and place them in a specified mailbox. After being chased by the Russians and an exchange of gunfire, Nash becomes increasingly paranoid and begins to behave erratically. His now wife, Alicia notices this behaviour and informs a psychiatric hospital. During a lecture he is giving at Harvard University Nash is taken, unwillingly back to the hospital where he is observed and cared for by Dr Rosen. During his time at the hospital, Nash’s Wife Alicia goes to the mailbox where her husband has been posting his findings, and realises that he has been hallucinating the whole thing. Parcher is not the only hallucination however, Nash’s roommate at Princeton was also a figure of his...

...﻿Book Review - Ignited Minds
'Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream transforms into thoughts. Thoughts result in actions' - Vision of the Indian Former President APJ Abdul Kalam which he shares with his countrymen in 'Ignited Minds'.
It seems that the Indian today lacks patriotism. They are not bothered about who wins the elections and what happens to the political stage in India. But why is that so? History tells us that the freedom fighters of the country knew how to transform their dreams into reality. The nation was always bigger than themselves. But today, the youth is shying away from politics, as they are unsure of the future of India. They only want to secure their own future and consciously shirk social responsibilities. But why are we in such a sorry state? Kalam writes, "What is it that we are missing? What is it that needs to be corrected? There seems to be an attitude problem, as if we cannot shake ourselves out of a mindset of limited achievement".
Does Kalam's statement ring a bell somewhere? It's high time that we as Indians shed our inhibitions and learn to think outside the box. This book takes a look at the deep-rooted sentiments, long-cherished ambitions as well as scary prejudices and unknown worries of the Indian youth. The youth of the nation is not afraid to dream only hesitant to take that all-important first step that can build a developed India.
Time and again, Kalam mentions that only education is not...

...The Beautiful Mind
Director: Ron Howard
Writer: Akiva Goldsman, Sylvia Nasar(author)
Cast: Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris, Paul Bettany…
In ''A Beautiful Mind,'' her biography of the mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr., Sylvia Nasar quotes one of his colleagues: ''All mathematicians live in two different worlds. They live in a crystalline world of perfect platonic forms- an ice palace. But they also live in the common world where things are transient, ambiguous, subject to vicissitudes.'' Mr. Nash, whose life is a case study in the difficulty -- and also the wonder -- of living in both, now inhabits a third: the treacle palace of middlebrow Hollywood moviemaking, in which ambiguity is dissolved in reassuring platitudes and freshly harvested tears. The tears, and the dazzled glow that accompanies them, feel honestly earned. The paradox of Ron Howard's new film, from a script by Akiva Goldsman, is that the story that elicits these genuine emotions is almost entirely counterfeit.
Nominated for eight Academy Awards and winner of four Oscars including Best Picture, “A Beautiful Mind” is one of the premier dramas of the decade. This brainchild of popular director Ron Howard debuted to widespread media hype and pre-release critical acclaims due to its power house team of Ron Howard, Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly, and the theme of a mathematical genius and victim of schizophrenia; whose affliction causes his life...

...﻿. Unfortunately, after an incident in the 1980s where power failure resulted in a stampede inside, members of the public are no longer allowed to climb the Qutub Minar. Over the years the Qutub Minar has seen its fair share of problems with the top being damaged by lightening at one time, and structural damage due to earthquakes over time. Thankfully, it has been repaired as and when the damage occurred and as a result it remains a marvel for generations to see.The entire Qutub Minar complex is a well maintained property with lush gardens. The guides do not harass and an official audio tour is available at a nominal price if you would rather do your own sightseeing.The complex also houses the Iron Pillar which has had an interesting theory attached to it. It is said that if a person were to stand with his back to the pillar and then manage to wrap his/her hands around it, then their wish will come true. Unfortunately, due to the effect the \”oily\” hands were having on the pillar, it has now been cornered off.The other magnificent fact about the pillar is that even though it is 98% Iron, and has been in the open, it still remains rust free after close to 1600 years. The Delhi weather along with some sort of coating is considered the reason for this pillar’s present condition

RESEARCH PAPER ASSIGNMENT
The purpose of the research paper is to provide you with an opportunity to explore in greater depth a
topic relevant to this quarter’s focus on individuals as social beings in the form of a review. Your paper
should draw on empirical research that adds to our understanding of a coherent and well-specified issue
or question. Your paper should incorporate research from a range of perspectives, either across levels of
explanation or across disciplinary perspectives. Journals such as Current Directions in Psychological
Science and Trends in Cognitive Sciences can be used as an example of brief review papers.
Topic selection. Developing a tractable and coherent research topic is part of the process of conducting
research. Although any topic that focuses on the relation of the individual to the group is potentially
appropriate, it must be developed within the context of an existing literature or literatures relevant to
psychology. You will undoubtedly need to refine the scope of your paper as your research progresses
until you have formulated a specific and well-defined research question or issue.
Searching for readings. We expect you to go beyond the reading list for the course and discuss
additional material that bears directly on your topic. However, you should not try to cover too much
material, 3-6 additional sources are all that can generally be discussed coherently in a...
